I'm Nobody's Baby
Yearning for Love: Nobody's Baby
Lyrics
I'm nobody's baby
I am not in a romantic relationship; I don't belong to anyone.
I wonder why
Expressing curiosity or confusion about why she is not someone's romantic partner.
Each night and day I pray the Lord up above
Regularly praying to God, asking for a romantic partner to be sent into her life.
Please send me down somebody to love
Pleading with the Lord to send someone to love her.
But nobody wants me
Feeling unwanted by others, facing rejection.
I'm blue somehow
Experiencing sadness or melancholy.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Requesting someone to listen to her plea and take a chance by forming a relationship.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Reiterating that she currently does not have a romantic partner.
Nobody's baby
Emphasizing that she is not romantically involved with anyone.
And I've got to know the reason why
Expressing a desire to understand why she is not someone's partner.
Last week I was walking down the street and met a boy and I said
Recalling an encounter with a boy and expressing interest in being with him.
"Hey! Maybe I was meant for you"
Expressing a belief that she might be meant for the boy she encountered.
But he only shook his head and said "Goodbye"
Recounting the boy's rejection; he shook his head and said goodbye.
He kept on walking down the avenue
Describing the boy continuing to walk away without reciprocating her feelings.
Nobody wants me
Reiterating the feeling of being unwanted by others.
I'm mighty blue somehow
Expressing a deep sense of sadness or depression.
Won't someone hear my plea and take a chance with me
Requesting someone to listen to her plea and take a chance despite her current state.
Because I'm nobody's baby now
Reiterating that she is currently not in a romantic relationship.
